A security researcher just found plaintext credentials for nearly 74,000 Fortinet firewalls sitting out in the open — pulled straight from an attacker's own server. Victims include Oracle, Chevron, Lenovo, FedEx, and even Fortinet itself.

If your business runs Fortinet gear, time to check patches and rotate credentials.

The affected include Oracle, Lenovo, FedEx, a NATO contractor, and Fortinet.

You never know what you’re going to see on the helpdesk, but this is the most honest “found a bug in the system” we’ve ever had.

This system might need pest control before endpoint protection.😅🪳

What a way to start a round...

Yesterday our team played in the Golf FORE KidsAbility Centre for Child Development tournament at Rebel Creek Golf Club — and on the very first hole of our day (the par 5 9th, which FoxNet sponsored) after finding the fairway, Bill Fox stepped up and holed it from 180 yards for an albatross. -3 after one hole!

The golf magic didn't quite carry through the rest of the round 😄 but honestly, it didn't need to. It was a great day on a great course for a cause that means a lot to us. FoxNet has been proud to support KidsAbility for many years — the work they do for children and families across our region is something we're genuinely glad to be part of.

Thanks to the Golf FORE KidsAbility committee and Rotary Waterloo for putting on another incredible event.

Cyber insurance requirements have changed a lot in the past few years.

Five controls come up in almost every policy renewal we see with clients: MFA, tested backups, security awareness training, patch management, and EDR/MDR endpoint protection.

If you're an SMB in the Waterloo Region and you're not sure where you stand on any of these, we can help — and we've built solutions around all five.

Four photos from the network infrastructure side of the house.

Most people meet FoxNet through managed IT or cybersecurity.

Fewer know we also handle the cabling, camera systems, access control, and wireless infrastructure that everything else runs on top of.

When the same team supports both the IT environment and the infrastructure behind it, it stops being two separate problems.

Twenty-plus years in, we still get excited about a tidy network rack!

Even the strongest 🔐 security systems can’t stop every threat if a scam reaches the end user.

That’s why awareness and employee training matter more than ever. These scams are designed to trick people into reacting fast. A few extra ⏱️ seconds to stop, verify, and think critically can make all the difference.

If your business is looking to strengthen its first line of defense, Foxnet is here to help. You focus on managing your business, we focus on providing "IT-as-a-Service" for you, protected by enterprise-grade Cybersecurity previously unaffordable for small businesses.

Great advice from our partners . That heart stopping pop-up? It’s designed to panic you into clicking. Take a breath, count to three, and don’t engage. Real ransomware doesn’t need theatrics, only the fakes do. Stay sharp, stay secure with Foxnet.
